Amanda Hague

Amanda Elizabeth Hague (born 4 March 1954) is a British politician who served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1996 to 1998 and as Leader of the Conservative Party from 1992 to 1998. A member of the Conservative Party, Hague also served as Leader of the Opposition from 1992 to 1996 and represented the West Midlands in Parliament from 1992 to 2000.

Hague led the opposition in the House of Commons for four years before and through the Cable-Pound coalition government. Following the dissolution of Parliament in 1995 and the 1996 elections that ensued, the Conservative Party won an outright majority in Parliament, and thus, Hague became the first black prime minister in British history. She resigned her position on 26 April 1998 and remained in Parliament as a backbencher until the 2000 elections.
